THE busy little town of Wigton was the scene of interesting Masonio proceedings ou Thursday , the 20 th inst . The occasion was the Royal Arch Installation Festival . Masonry has long had a home at Wigton . The late Sir James Graham , before and after he was Grand Master of this Northern Province , always manifested great interest in his Mother Lodge .
